The Hits radio station host and occasional TVNZ weather presenter Sam Wallace is having a baby with partner Sarah Bowman.
Wallace made the announcement on the radio today, while also sharing the couple's previous heartache after suffering a miscarriage.
"I’ve been with my partner for a quite a while now and last year we got pregnant and we were pretty excited about it,” Wallace said to fellow hosts Sarah Gandy and Laura McGoldrick.
“We were actually at the 12-week mark … and that’s when we got the call that everything wasn’t right and we battled on with that, and at 17 weeks we lost the baby.
“It’s one of the hardest things that I’ve gone through and you can only imagine what my girlfriend’s gone through with that and everything that goes along with losing a baby.”
“But…” he continued, “This is a pretty good news story… because… I’m going to be a dad!
“We’re past the point in which we lost the baby last time around now, so we feel like it’s relatively safe to let everybody know that we’re going to have a baby!”
